What is JumpStart?
JumpStart is our Sunday morning kids program here at KCF for kids 5 and up.
If you’re a grown-up and you’ve been following Jesus for a while, you’ve probably figured out a few ways to grow spiritually. The kids you’re parenting, on the other hand, aren’t grown-ups, so they might need a little help from you to figure out how, exactly, to grow spiritually.
Or if you are a new believer, your kids may not know a lot of Bible stories. We are honoured to be able to teach them these stories and principles for the first time and to be help them to grow in their faith!
So what should spiritual growth look like for a kid? We like to think about it in terms of four spiritual habits.
4. Share their story
We believe these are 4 keys to discipleship that will help kids launch their faith.

1. To help a kid grow spiritually
2. Teach them to spend time with God
3. Spend time with others, use their gifts4. Share their story

So...what happens there?
We use a wonderful curriculum called Grow. Our program includes fun videos, creative crafts, and lessons from God's Word. We strike a balance between using technology and face to face teaching.
We really feel that your kids will love our program, and you will too!
Every Sunday we send your kids home with their colouring sheet or craft from that day, a card with our memory verse (great for lockers, mirrors, bookmarks) and a summary sheet for parents! The summary sheet even has questions you can ask your kids about what they learned to start conversations!

JumpStart at Home
We know that you can't always make it to church on Sunday. We want to help your kids launch their faith in any way we can, so we've put together this handy resource page with everything you might need to teach your kids at home.
Every month we have a different theme and have lesson plans, videos, workbooks, colouring pages and even crafts you can do at home. Check it out!
